Seriously? You don't think that the audience of literally every news outlet, no matter their viewpoint, was interested in seeing the material that led to the murder of eleven people? I can absolutely guarantee that they did. The content of the magazine has absolutely no bearing on the analysis of the actions, but the illustration itself was certainly newsworthy. I honestly don't know how you can come to any other conclusion.
